Sorry to see of Tony's passing, Michelle and I have appreciated working with Tony and the family recently and the extended family over a long period of time. Unfortunately we have commitments tomorrow and can't attend the service, but really appreciate the relationship with the family.

Here I see you,
You have left today,
Setting off full gallop to chase the sun,
For the rest of days,
A quick look back,
With a wink of an eye,
And his classic grin,
He turns his head knowing he will see us again,
A lasting legacy that shall endure,
God speed Uncle Tony till we meet again

Condolences to all with love from across the ditch
